- APE community passes AIP-209 proposal to build APE Accelerator.
- ApeCoin DAO’s $APE jumped 7% following the announcement.
- Crypto whales react with large moves, including long positions.
Animoca’s Forj, a community-based learning management system owned and operated by Animoca Brands, shook hands with ApeCoin DAO to open APE Accelerator. The brand-new innovation hub provides valuable information and power-ups for builders.
Notably, ApeCoin’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) funded APE Accelerator’s launchpad after the Bored Ape community voted to pass the proposal (AIP-209).
AIP-209 delegated Forj to build the new project incubator, presented to the public in a tweet by Forj’s Harry Liu. The five-second video clip urges developers to check out the new dedicated innovation accelerator website, while Liu highlights three advantages of Ape Accelerator:
- The latest developer tools
- Industry leader expertise
- Launchpad based on $APE

ApeCoin Inks 7% on APE Accelerator Launch
In addition to the 9.33% ricochet from its all-time lows, $APE now effectuates a bullish concentration on-chain signal. This means that crypto whales are on alert again – blockchain smart money tracker LookOnChain spotted a whale cashing out $1.49 million in $APE.
A whale withdrew 1.37M $APE ($1.49M) at $1.09 from #Binance 40 mins ago.

The whale also bought 543,979 $APE ($2.33M at the time, and lost ~$1.74M currently) at an average price of $4.28 from #Binance and DEX from Jan 24 to May 8. https://t.co/gizwpl0i1F pic.twitter.com/Hhg7hnTAEo
Following the news, ApeCoin gained 4.3% in the last 24 hours, equalling the score in the monthly charts. APE was trading in a descending parallel channel throughout September and October but bounced back from its all-time lows at $1.01, hit on October 10, 2023.
Interestingly, the crypto whale accumulated APE between January and May at an average price of $4.28, buying large chunks from Binance and several decentralized crypto exchanges. Meanwhile, pro-crypto trader BNB Bull declared a long position on $APE after years of shorting the monkey-themed memecoin from its nearly all-time high at $25.
I shorted $Ape from 25 dollars. I guess it's time to Long it with size. And sleep on that position for atleast 6x. Dead Cat bounce is much needed on this one. https://t.co/uYG1BQ2MJR pic.twitter.com/DMRibfKzZY

On the Flipside
- The all-time high set at $26.70 was mostly due to the success of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection.
- The blue-chip NFT collection gathered a vast community of crypto enthusiasts, but the Web3 giant Yuga Labs eventually disassociated with the token, leaving the governance up to ApeCoin DAO’s hands.
